Have never heard of this brand before. Maybe our German members know more about it.
The V8 is a tube power amp at 120 watt, extremely high for tubes and also expensive. Looks like a V8 motor.
The headphone amps can be used with ordinary phones but they recommend it used with their own headphone with XLR connection (so it´s not only the Blockhead that has XLR).
An odd thing is that the headphone amps seem primarily to be marketed to doctors and dentist to help patients to relax during treatment!

Maybe you need to be under the infleuence of anesthetic, or nitrous oxide before they sound good?

This has been noted before by templeboy on 3/24/02, thread: "two 'new' tube headphone amps".
Replies are complete with translations.

The man also does Marshall, (and other), guitar amp mod's. But checking out some guitar/musician-oriented sites, I have found some people very unhappy w/their Marshall mod's.

This, in itself, does not mean that his headphone amp is n.g., of course, but it does give one cause to pause...
